Soot & smoke damage aren’t always as evident as the charred remnants of fire damage, but its effects on both your property and health are very real. Soot, a fine, powdery substance, contains harmful chemicals that can lead to bronchitis, cancer, or heart disease. Even worse, it isn’t always visible and goes unnoticed by your insurance company. Our proven techniques ensure that all damage is identified and you get the compensation you deserve.
Smoke and soot leave a nasty smell, leave your walls, ceilings, or chimney a burnt-grey color, and can present various health risks to you and your family. Regardless of the severity of the damage to your property, is it important that the issues are addressed immediately. Luckily, our public adjusting team can help tackle these problems right away. At the time of the fire, we have the ability to send out emergency disaster restoration services to prevent further damages. Once the emergency has been mitigated, our staff can come on-site anytime to assess the damages to your property. From there, we will deal with every aspect of the post-damage process. We assist with temporary relocation, property reconstruction and more, so that you don’t have to.
Next, we handle the entire insurance claims process for you. All financial, legal, and logistical processes are managed by our team of trained experts that look to get you the highest possible settlement from your insurance provider. The Performance Adjusting team will use its proven techniques and technology to provide a detailed estimate of the damages, then communicate these damages to your insurance provider. Once we’ve earned you the settlement that you deserve, we take our 10% adjusters fee.
First, our team performs a thorough analysis of your insurance policy to determine how we can help you financially recover as quickly (and economically) as possible.

Smoke is unburned carbon that is the byproduct of fire and is flammable in intense heat. Soot is the small particulate left over from combustion, fire, and or furnace delayed ignition.
A soot puffback occurs when your oil burner backfires and shoots smoke and soot into your home or business. It is technically a mini explosion in the burner chamber of your furnace which causes soot to puff back through your HVAC system. The result can be anywhere from a small amount of smoke to a minor explosion, depending on how much fuel has accumulated in the chamber.
Smoke is made up of a mixture of gases and fine particles. These tiny particles can penetrate deep into your lungs causing various health problems. Eye, lung, and nasal irritation can occur. If exposed to smoke/soot for an extended period, chronic heart and lung diseases can result. Today’s homes and buildings are made with synthetic materials and give off toxins when burned, limited exposure and face mask is recommended. It is critical to address even the smallest bit of smoke/soot damage in order to protect yourself and your loved ones.
Smoke is acidic and can damage electronics and electrical wiring throughout a property. It may take several days, weeks, or months for signs of damage to show. Soot is corrosive and can damaged internal wiring within electronics.
All affected porous building materials must be removed. Any salvageable building components must be cleaned thoroughly, and framing must be encapsulated. Air scrubbers are also essential in filtering the contaminated air.
